Deploy an Azure Virtual Machine with KopiCloud AD API in Windows Server 2019

The Terraform code in this repo will deploy an Azure Virtual Machine for KopiCloud AD API with Windows Server 2019 and SQL Server 2019 Express.

Network Configuration

The code will create the network resources (Resource Group, VNET, Subnet).

Notes

• By default, the download and installation of SQL Server Management Studio is disabled because it will take lots of time.

• The default Windows username and password are managed by the terraform.tfvars file.

Configuring Azure Credentials

Read the document Getting Started with Terraform and Microsoft Azure - Section 6 to configure credentials.
